See if this helps:
They soon gathered at the village where the festival was taking place. = They soon gathered at the village in which the festival was taking place. (this one refers to location, identifying that specific village as the place for their meeting.) They soon gathered at the village while the festival was taking place. = They soon gathered at the village during the time when the festival was taking place. (this one refers to time, to a specific period of time.) Sandra |
